True to its intent, the open house will feature a host of Bay City vendors. There will be food and drinks from many of its City Market neighbors, including Elaine’s Bake Shop, the Harvest Store, Modern Craft Winery, Tex-Mex Grille La Tejana, That Guy’s BBQ, and Wrapin-N-Rollin. The Petal Boutique will provide floral arrangements.

"There will be lots of things to sample and enjoy in a beautiful space," says Nicole Kinde, office manager for City Office.

"Supporting local businesses is extremely important to us. It’s what we’re about, working together. Success definitely breeds success."

City Office is geared toward working professionals and entrepreneurs without an office of their own. It draws people out of their home offices and into a shared workspace in downtown Bay City.

It’s everything you’d want in an office and all in one place, says Kinde. It’s modern, flexible, and, she says, affordable.

"We want to make sure that people have the opportunity to come in and look around and see what their next step forward can be," Kinde says.
